.IIVlPROVEMENT IN EXTENSION PAPER COLLARS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 178,5 1 1, dated June 13, 1876; application filed March 7, 1875.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, .EMAN EL G. OoHEN, of Cleveland, in the county of Guyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and Improved Extension Paper Collar; and

I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and complete description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of the same.

Figure 1 is a perspective View of the collar. Fig. 2 is a view of the inside of the collar when spread out. Fig. 3 is a transverse section.

Like letters of reference refer to like parts in the several views.

The nature of this invention relatesto mens neck-collars; and the object thereof is to render said collars adjustable, so that one of a certain size may be easily and readily made to fit a larger or smaller size neck than.

that indicated by-the number of the collar.

The aforesaid collar is made substantially as follows:

Fig. 1 represents a perspective view of a turned-down collar, and which consists of two sections, A B. The lower edge of the band C of the collar is turned upward and outward upon itself, forming a fold, D, Figs. 2 and 3, under the lappet E or turned-down part of the collar. The two sections A B of the collar are connected to each other by a ligament, F,

the two sections of the collar are securely attached to each other, as shown in Fig. 1. To further secure the sections from slipping when adjusted, the adhesive tags H, Fig. 1, may be moistened and pressed down upon the band, which will adhere thereto and prevent the section from slipping, as aforesaid.

The manipulation of the above-described collar is as follows: Let it be supposed that the size of the collar, Fig. l, is No. 15. In the event it is required to increase the size of the collar, it is done by adjusting the sections A B in their connections with the ligan1entthat is, by slipping themv outward toward the ends thereof, thereby giving more length to the co]- lar, to the extent required. If the collar be too large it can be shortened up by slipping the two sections together upon the ligament, thereby making a smaller collar. By this means it will be obvious that a collar of a certain or normal size can be enlarged or contracted so as to fit a larger or smaller neck, and thereby made a matter of convenience to the wearer, who may not be able to wear comfortably any of the standard size, or cannot obtain the standard size that will fit him.

I is a scale of sizes, to which the collar may be adjusted.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

As a new article of manufacture, the herein-described adjustable collar, eonsistin g of the sections A B and ligament F, constructed and arranged in combination with each other, substantially as set forth, and for the purpose specified.
